Death

Look around you See the faces surrounding you All with different uses and tasks to do What if it’ll be your last view? A bitter truth no one reviews No matter how long we stay, the end will definitely come knocking A time to really have all the rest you’ll ever need Being alone with your deeds and virtue Whether the good or evil Alone and awaiting judgement People singing melodious songs They tell you what doesn't kill you makes you stronger, Blatant lie, cause what doesn't kill you wasn't meant to kill you. We wonder and ponder But at the end, all they do is lauder. Not knowing death is like thunder Striking and leaving a donga Leaving us in confusion Live life as a traveller, but take only what you’ll need along the way. Funny how when you die they start listening A journey worth taking for those who know. Tell me, are you not willing to go? For more? For all the bounties and all the grace All the sights, smells and the tastes Will be forgotten without a trace As if frozen in time and space When you see his face. You asked for mercy, that he gave. Death, the undisputed slave. We come making everyone happy, then leave making them sad. Why are we here in the first place, if this is how we gotta go?
